NoScript and F5 Network Access (Firepass) Plugin

Post by Lordy »

Hello,

I am using a Firepass SSL-VPN that I can't get to work with NoScript being active.

I have a bunch of extensions installed in my Firefox 3.0.11 on Ubuntu 9.04 and had problems to
get the SSL-VPN to work. I disabled all plugins and then enabled then one-by-one and retried the
VPN connection. Everything was fine until I reactivated NoScript. So I'm pretty sure NoScript
is blocking something. My NoScript Version is 1.9.5.

I have added the VPN-Page to the trusted sites but I still get a pop-up windows saying "Connection dropped"
immediately when I try to connect.

The add-on I use for the VPN is F5 Network Access Plugin Verison 6030.2009.0506.1.

If necessary I can provide the source of the VPN page if somebody wants to inspect the Javascript Code.

Any help would be appreciated since I hate to go without NoScript but I need to SSL-VPN for my job :?

Can you see any "[ABE]" message in Tools|Error Console?
Also, does the thing work if you disable ABE in Tools|Advanced|ABE?

Very good point. ABE is in fact the show-stopper here:

Code: Select all

[ABE] <LOCAL> Deny on {GET http://127.0.0.1:44444/vpn.php?CONNECT <<< https://vpn.MYOWRKPLACE.COM/vdesk/vpn/connect.php3?Z=0,4}
SYSTEM rule:
Site LOCAL
Accept from LOCAL
Deny
Could you give me a hint how to create a rule that allows this so that I can re-enable ABE?

Thank you !

As a start, give the latest development build a try.
Thats not going to do it, is it? That was more of a work-around for the notifications.

Turned it into FAQ 8.6 :)

Great. This will hopefully help other people that run into the same problem.

You made a little typo though. It's 44444 not 444444 ;-)
